Holiday periods and public holidays observed in Omnia education
As a rule, teaching at the educational institution is not provided during the school holidays and public holidays, and not all student services are available. The time when teaching is not provided varies according to the form of education and is often longer than the general holiday period of the educational institution.
Even during the school holidays, teaching and guidance are carried out on the basis of student-, client- and education-specific needs.
